Friday Cards ~ Revamping

My Tip Today: Make use of your old cards ~ bring them back to life again

Now
to one of my favorite things I like to do. I make a large number of
cards, as I do not sell my cards I like to make use of them where I can
and if I can. I love making cards and entering them into challenges, its
like playing a poker machine (lol) the excitement of watching and
winning if you can be so lucky.When
I get a card that has taken the eye of DT members on several challenges
and has won I know its a special card and thought rather than bin the
cards I came up with the idea of revamping them and re-entering them
into challenges and winning again with that old card.

Here
is a card I made some months ago and it won a few challenges. After the
date of make had flown by I just thought it was a pity to bin the card,
so I studied the challenges that were open at that time and saw a
challenge theme "In the Garden". I thought just "PERFECT".So on went my thinking cap and I completely re-vamped my old Bendi Fold Card.

This is the original Bendi Fold Card I created and won challenges with:-

And here is how I revamped the original Bendi Card:-

Keeping
the original trees, I added extra Fern, I changed the grassing using a
die and having 3 various colours, added a tag "I Love my Garden" and
popped a new Doily and Digital stamp. Here I had my new Bendi Fold Card
all ready to go for a new challenge.......and, it won the challenge, 1st
prize.

Of
course it did not finish there, I decided to utilize this Bendi Card
one more time for one of my DT assignments, yes I revamped it again:-

Here is my current Bendi Fold Card re-vamped:-

This time I just used the very base card and totally re-vamped and changed the entire card.

I love re-vamping and I hope you have enjoyed my tutorial on my revamping of the Bendi Fold Card.

As always, any comments are very much appreciated. Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day.
